He thinks everything is half-assed, and it is if he does it

We’re in mourning for President Carter and what our nation is about to endure.

boomer-michael.bsky.social•58 days ago

There are three good reasons to fly the flag at half-staff on 1/20: to show respect for #JimmyCarter, to show respect for #MLK, and to show disrespect for #Trump.

kylejsn.bsky.social•58 days ago

It isn't that the flag will be at half-staff that got people going. It is that they knew and were waiting for exactly this reaction. All he had to do is say nothing, but he can't....

kkjadams.bsky.social•58 days ago

Apparently, he does not follow Presidential history. Nixon. Flags were at 1/2 staff during, & after, his inauguration.

Half-staff to honor a Presidents death is to show great respect for that person. President Carter earned that honor and was a wondererful humanitarian. It's not all about you Trump, try shutting off cameras for a bit, show a deserving President thanks and respect for his worldly accomplishments.

howsonfire.bsky.social•58 days ago

In Canada Cheri, any time a flag is lowered, it is referred to as half mast. There is no use of the term ‘half staff’.

cherijacobus.bsky.social•58 days ago

Trump isn't Canadian, howsonfire. But nice try.

howsonfire.bsky.social•57 days ago

Thank god a hundred times Cheri. Just making conversation amiga.

mixie943.bsky.social•58 days ago

I think Judge Marchan will show him what a staff is on the 10th LOL

calpoppy.bsky.social•58 days ago

Most of MAGA it doesn’t seem to know that the flag is always flown half staff for 30 days after the death of a president of the United States or former president.

magda627.bsky.social•58 days ago

corriegt63.bsky.social•58 days ago

How about when it’s Trump’s turn, we don’t lower the flags to half staff. 😜 🤷‍♀️.

kindy37.bsky.social•58 days ago

I predict he’ll make some executive decision to have all flags remain full raised. He’s that selfish.

concernedgirl.bsky.social•58 days ago

He’s not the executive until after he’s sworn in.

boxspringstuff.bsky.social•58 days ago

he'll probably do it after he's sworn in, and make a big stink of it. he has no respect for anyone or traditions. if he does give that order, it disrespects the office as well as President Carter.

zharel-anger.bsky.social•54 days ago

US code 4 USC § 1 Title 4 Section 1 mandates lowering the US flag to half-staff at federal buildings and grounds, including embassies, installations abroad, and military vessels for a 30day period upon the death of current or former presidents. I am glad the SS Minow willfully flies it with honor.

dogma2015k8s.bsky.social•58 days ago

Since we all feel like we are on the titanic, 1/2 mast is about right for this sinking ship. Trump is so petty and disrespectful to Jimmy Carter. Trump deserves to be buried in bakers field with no head stone when he checks out.

I don't think it should be flown at half anything. It should be shoved fully up Donald Trump's ass.

nickcc0623.bsky.social•58 days ago

I hope I am not being too forward if you do remember the passing of Harry Truman less than 30 days from Nixon's second inaugural. The flags flew at half staff that day.
Two days later, LBJ had his fatal heart attack.

vinnyazzuri.bsky.social•58 days ago

Hey James, whose statement is wrong and do you want as the Bears’ HC?

twochops.bsky.social•58 days ago

Cheri’s. “Half mast” was appropriately used by trump. Amazing that dotard would get something right.

As for the Bears, I hope they can snag Ben Johnson. I also like the idea of Pete Carroll despite his age. The Bears are so broken, they might need a force of nature like Carroll to right the ship.

The flag has never been at half staff during a swearing in of president. . .except:

John Tyler
Millard Fillmore
Andrew Johnson
Chester Arthur
Theodore Roosevelt
Harry Truman
Lyndon Johnson
Richard Nixon

All were at half staff at their swearing in.

kimnoreen.bsky.social•58 days ago

In fact, I am VERY happy that my favorite POTUS ever is upstaging the most malevolent malignant man our nation has ever known. Carter defending Democracy even in death...
